i'm sure you all have seen the bel air couches right? well i have been thinking about making a end table/accent table our of a cameshaft, flywheel for the top(with rubber bumpers and a round piece of glass on top), and 3 rods & pistons for the legs/feet.

also thought about a coffee table with cams for the legs and some square tube to connect them.
wall shelf - take two pistons/rods mount the the rods to the wall to where the pistons are level and put a piece of glass on top...and SHELF

thoughts, questions, comments?

my old shop teacher has that second tabel at his house. its pretty crazy looking. I dunno, sounds cool but heavy as hell. hope it never falls

I like your wall idea, and the second table you linked is pretty sweet

i can just imagine accidently kicking that engine block. oh not pretty...
